The term MILITARY SHADE is often used to refer to the color KHAKI, which is a light brownish-yellow color. KHAKI is commonly associated with military uniforms and is often used to create a camouflage effect. It is also used in other clothing items such as shorts, pants, and jackets. The term KHAKI is derived from the Persian word for 'DUST' or 'SOIL'. KHAKI has been used in military uniforms since the late 19th century and is still widely used today.
